The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　In this critical moment of crisis, she showed no panic whatsoever, not even...

　I looked at the beginner cards that were automatically drawn from the duel disk.

　She knew perfectly well what her own deck contained.

　At this point, relying on magic cards is not as good as relying on yourself!

　If the [Savage Spear] is locked by the ghost, then discard it.

　She freed her hands, exerted sudden force, and the energy flowing between her chakras instantly increased.

　Speed, like a tidal wave, circulates rapidly within its body, with physical strength advancing layer by layer and exploding at breakneck speed.

　"Drink!"

　Just as the [Elemental Cannon] was about to fire, a...

　The image of a giant bear suddenly appeared above, and the energy accumulated within his body erupted in that instant.

　It advances further from the level of [Gathering Qi] and its outward release, transforming into "armor"—

　It generally covers the entire body.

　Her attack and defense surged simultaneously, her long, silvery-white hair flying backwards, each...

　Every strand of hair was enveloped in "qi" and stretched straight.

　Ultimate move #1: [Burst Aura]!

　"boom!

　When Diana successfully unleashed [Burst], shattering the ghostly hand that was grabbing her, the "Elemental Cannon" was finally unleashed.

　She looked up suddenly, and in an instant it seemed as if a green sun was approaching, instantly obscuring her entire field of vision, and then everything went black.

　"game over."

　Sammy Tommy lowered his hand and said in a calm tone.

　However, the music played by "God's Cause" did not stop.

　The constantly changing background noise revealed a truth that Sami found hard to accept.

　Suddenly, a bright white light pierced through the scorching green sun, and the white "little fairy" with wings reappeared in everyone's sight.

　Despite her slightly unsteady breathing, Diana remained in high spirits, even more excited than before.

　She flapped her tattered wings, placed her right hand on the duel disk, touched one of the magic cards with her fingertips, and quickly chanted an incantation.

　"In the name of Diana Gretel, I summon the magical 'Dreamy Candy Bear'!"

　It's still Samsung's Magic Elf.

　Appearing beside it is a candy bear exuding a sweet fragrance. Its color is slightly transparent, with a colorful bow tied around its neck, and its body, which is the same color as the bear, constantly releases a pale pink glow, like butterfly wings.

　Diana swallowed hard, the saliva that had involuntarily welled up inside her, and then reached out a hand toward the "Dreamy Candy Bear".

　Colorful light condensed in the palm of the "Dreamy Candy Bear," transforming into a white milk candy.

　Diana snatched the candy from her hand, stuffed it into her mouth without even unwrapping it, and chewed it for a while.

　As the sweet milky scent permeated her entire body, the injuries on her body healed at a visible speed.

　Although not fully recovered, at least she wouldn't take any more action. Diana reached out again and snatched another colorful lollipop from the "Dreamy Candy Bear's" hand.

　She swallowed the candy, rubbed her hands together, and a large lollipop with a colorful spiral pattern appeared in her palms.

　This is no longer an ordinary candy, but a long-handled weapon that exudes the sweet scent of candy!

　short

　After taking a short break, Diana looked across at the other side again, only to find that Sammy and Tommy were staring at her without moving for some reason.

　"Being distracted in battle can be fatal..."

　Diana murmured something, then suddenly accelerated, charging towards Sammy Tommy.

　Sammy Tommy wasn't distracted, he was just shocked.

　According to the information, the opponent is just a human.

　How could a purebred human of this age possibly withstand (the elemental cannon)?

　Are all the students from St. Marian Academy monsters?

　"No! She must have used a defensive magic card at that moment!"

　It took Sammy Tommy a while to convince himself.

　His eyes regained their light, and he saw Diana charging towards him! "King of the Forest!"

　In that instant, a hint of anger flashed in Sammy Tommy's voice. The giant tree beneath his feet moved in response, dozens of branches shooting out and crisscrossing into a net in front of him.

　Then he quickly drew a Magic Card from the Duel Disk and chanted an incantation: "In the name of Sammy Tommy, Magic Summon - 'Wooden Shield Guardian'!" The remaining Grass-type elements around him rapidly condensed under the effect of "Eye of the Elements", allowing him to Special Summon the Grass-type Elemental - "Wooden Shield Guardian" without any tributes!

　The six-star magical spirit "Wooden Shield Guardian" has a defense of 3,000 points and can absorb some impact, providing an additional 1,000 points of defense bonus.

　If it takes root in a place where grass element is exceptionally abundant, its "Elemental Eye" will slowly absorb grass element, restoring its magic power.

　Although Sammy Tommy was furious, he remained rational and knew that the most important thing at this moment was to block the opponent's strong attack.

　Therefore, after summoning the "Wooden Shield Guardian," he said without hesitation, "Barrier!"

　The "Wooden Shield Guardian" knelt on the tree canopy, supporting the huge wooden shield with its shoulder. At this moment, it unleashed its ultimate skill, and a magic circle quickly appeared on the wooden shield.

　The magic circle replicated layer by layer, expanding outwards to form a spherical barrier that protected Sammy Tommy within.

　Almost the instant the barrier took shape, Diana descended from the sky wielding a long-handled weapon shaped like a lollipop.

　She gripped the long handle tightly with both hands, her screams growing louder. "Ahhh—"

　All his strength surged wildly into the lollipop, which slammed hard onto the wooden shield barrier.

　"boom!"

　With a deafening explosion, the wooden shield barrier shattered into dust like glass.

　But the Wooden Shield Guard remained unharmed, loyally standing in front of Diana.

　Diana glanced at the lollipop in her hand and sighed softly. The weapon that candy manifests is fragility.

　The lollipop is covered in cracks.

　"Dreamy Candy Bear"

　The bear carrying candy flew back again.

　Diana took out a gummy candy and bit into it, and a pair of bear paw-like gauntlets materialized on her hands.

　She waved her hands and looked across at the other side.

　Even when crouching, the "Wooden Shield Guardian" is over two meters tall, and its wooden shield is enormous.

　However, without the wooden shield barrier, attackers only need to take a few more steps to go around it and attack the duelists behind it.

　But Diana never even considered the idea of ​​"getting around" the statue. She looked at the motionless "wooden shield guards," clenched her right fist, and swung it around like a windmill.

　"Ahhh-"

　The moment she finished charging up, she suddenly sprinted forward, then twisted and spun, her right fist transforming into a rocket that slammed into the wooden shield!

　"BOOM!"

　The spectators outside the stadium instinctively covered their ears.

　Cracks appeared on the wooden shield, which had a defense of 4000 points, in an instant.

　The "Wooden Shield Guardian" subconsciously tensed its muscles, but the impact absorption effect of its wooden shield seemed to be completely ineffective. It suddenly felt a terrifying force pass through the wooden shield and strike its body.

　Immediately afterwards, that huge and heavy body was suddenly sent flying backward!

　The "Wooden Shield Guardian" did not die, but it turned into a shooting star.

　Diana Greta Bayer, for the first time, faces Sammy Tommy face-to-face at extremely close range.

　"Oh ha yo——"

　Diana raised her hand and waved at Sammy Tommy.

　The palms of her boxing gloves had round, fleshy pads, pink and tender, just like bear paws—that's why they're called bear paw boxing gloves!

　But Sammy Tommy, on the other side, had no time to notice how cute the bear paw was. His lips twitched involuntarily, and a magic card in his hand was clearly lit up. However, he was so shocked that he froze for a moment.

　The number of cards in the duel disk continued to increase, but neither side in this duel made ideal use of their magic cards.

　Fortunately, there's no limit to the number of cards you can hold in a magic duel here, otherwise you'd probably have to start throwing cards around.

　Regardless, the summoned and activated magic cards would not stop. A complex magic circle appeared beneath Sammy Tommy's feet.

　Immediately afterward, a flash of black light appeared, and his figure vanished completely. In the magic array where he stood, only an exquisite wooden puppet that bore a striking resemblance to him remained.

　But the puppet was wearing a black top hat, dressed as a magician, and had a black cane in its hand.

　Three-star magical spirit—"Magic Puppet"! "Squeak squeak squeak... Oh... Diana..."

　After the sound was adjusted, the "magic puppet" actually called out Diana's name.

　Diana observed the "magic puppet" with a look of confusion, searching for the location of Sammy Tommy's true form.

　But Sammy Tommy seemed to have completely vanished; there was no trace of him anywhere.

　Diana narrowed her eyes. She hated this kind of acrobatics more than anything!

　Then, in the next instant, she accelerated towards the "magic puppet," clenched her right hand, and fiercely threw a flying punch.

　But the expected sense of accuracy did not come.

　The "magic puppet" picked up the hat, pulled it down, and trapped itself completely inside.

　The black top hat floated down lightly and fell to the ground.

　Diana bent down and grabbed the brim of her hat, but the moment her fingers touched it, she suddenly felt dizzy and found herself in a corner of a forest.

　She looked up at the lush green trees and for a moment felt a sense of bewilderment, as if she had "traveled to another world".

　But in reality, the black top hat was just a teleportation device. She was simply teleported to a corner covered by the "King of the Forest." The "Forest Frenzy" had not ended, and tree spirits were still hunting her in the forest.

　She suddenly swung her hammer backward, smashing the tree spirit that was about to attack her in half, and then flapped her wings and flew out of the forest.

　No tree spirit could hinder her.

　She flew out of the forest again, soaring over the canopy of the giant tree. But her gaze swept across the area, and she still couldn't find Sammy Tommy.

　That guy actually hid!

　Concealment is a technique already used in traditional duels. But Sami Tommy's method of concealment seems to be more than just "invisibility".

　Diana returned to the treetop and found the top hat still in the same spot.

　Although I don't like using my brain, it's clear that brute force is no longer an option at this point.

　Diana had to use her brain.

　Then, a few seconds later, she drew a magic card from her hand and chanted a spell to summon it.

　"In the name of Diana Gretebelle, a magical summoning—'Blazing Flames'!"

　It's still just a three-star magical spirit.

　Diana possesses the ability to summon high-level magical spirits; even just one type of candy from the "Dreamy Candy Bear" can be used as a sacrifice instead of an offering.

　But she felt it was unnecessary.

　Second-tier magical spirits offered her very limited help. Even third-tier magical spirits were rarely of any assistance. After all, she didn't have any nine-star magical spirits, and it was better not to summon any unnecessary burdens. On the contrary, many three-star magical spirits were functional, easy to summon, and useful.

　But what Diana was truly waiting for wasn't those magical spirit cards. Instead, she summoned "Blazing Inferno" to solve a mystery.

　Fireweed.

　"Blazing Flame," engulfed in flames, breathed a burst of fire at the top hat from afar, at Diana's command.

　The top hat caught fire and burned to ashes.

　Then, from that pile of ash, the "magic puppet" actually crawled out again! "You actually cracked it."

　The "magic puppet" reached out and touched its bald head, then spoke in human language. Although the voice was slightly different, Diana recognized it as her opponent—Sammy Tommy!

　“I’m sorry to talk to you this way, but you’re just too amazing, so I have to avoid you,” Sammy Tommy said politely.
